“We love those who know the worst of us and don’t turn their faces away.” – Walker Percy

Orphans, We Are All Orphans – [2.5MB AAC] (Link no longer live)

Orphans, we are all orphans
Nowhere to live
Nowhere to sleep
Nowhere to have our being

A father left a son and a daughter
He made it discreet,
made his retreat,
made sure that no one saw him

Can you look in my eyes
Can you see my worst
and not turn your face away?

Will you look at your hands
See what they can do
Before the roof
falls in on you?
